Os igualitários sociais devem repensar o seu apoio às instituições políticas democráticas. O arranjo institucional ideal do ponto de vista do igualitarismo social seria uma sociedade sem estado. Se fosse viável viver sem um estado, a subserviência dos cidadãos a um estado não poderia ser justificada com o argumento de que as pessoas são capazes de influenciar o que o estado faz. Infelizmente, uma sociedade sem Estado é inviável. Em terms de teoria não-ideal, os igualitários sociais geralmente apoiam instituições democráticas. Mas há quatro razões pelas quais os igualitários sociais não devem apoiar a democracia. Primeiro, muitos dos argumentos que os igualitários sociais citam em favor da democracia apelam para um ideal de democracia, mas se os arranjos institucionais ideais fossem viáveis, então uma sociedade sem estado seria melhor. Em segundo lugar, os igualitários sociais não apoiariam o uso de procedimentos democráticos para tomar decisões coletivas dentro do contexto das relações privadas se as pessoas pudessem decidir separadamente. Em terceiro lugar, as sociedades democráticas reforçam as desigualdades de status entre cidadãos e não cidadãos e, por vezes, entre grupos maioritários e grupos minoritários. Embora a democracia seja um tipo de status igual, ela institucionaliza e intensifica outras formas de opressão. Em quarto lugar, em relação ao status quo, os igualitários relacionais devem apoiar menos controle governamental sobre a vida das pessoas, e isso significa menos democracia.
